Just had PI springs fitted to my MY98. It was supposed to lower the car 35mm but it hasn't dropped the car at all. Either the guy i bought it from didn't bother to tell me it had been lowered or the car comes with this suspension as standard!!!

Can anyone verify this??

Also have never seen any springs that go lower than 35mm!!!!! is there no springs that lower it 50mm etc???!!

Would getting 18's make a difference??

cheers.

 

I believe that the only way to go this low is to fit adjustables ... alot more cash than springs I'm afraid.

 

Yeah thats what i thought.

cheers for the info.

 

I believe MRT in Oz sell -50mm springs. Do bear in mind that springs take a little while to settle into their ride height... but PI aren't that great.

 

Don't suppose you know of a web address??

Anyway thanks for the help.

IMVHO Don't lower it more than 2,5-3 cm otherwise you should buy new dampers to cope with the very low springs, the standard shocks can't work as it would when lowered too much.

i think H&R lower the car 50mm probably cheaper than the mrt ones
regards mike

 

Ive got eibachs which lower it about 10mm (if your lucky)
im afraid the only way so you dont mess handling is coilovers.
cheers mouse

ps there was a group buy on coilovers which you can probaly still
get on £700 for the kit,mine are on there way!!!!

Wouldn't the P1 springs be matched to the P1 (I think STI)dampers? and aren't these the same as the STI V damper/spring set-up?

Isn't there also a point when the damper will be too long for shorter springs?

Thanks Mouseman, help is most appreciated!!

 

Does anyone know how low the Avo Evolution kit lowers your car???

Is it about 4 inches??? I know its adjustable, just wondering how low it acutally goes.

Just placed my order for them so lets hope they go low!!!

 

Think its about 60mm which is very low apparently
ps im not a newbie just changed my username was mouseman
cheers mouse

 

Had PI springs on my scoob when I got it. They only lasted a week before I changed them. The car was very low (35mm lower than std, as I measured it before and after...)

The handling was OK, but not special with the PI springs - much better when I replaced them with standard 96 WRX springs, and I didn't catch the front splitter on things

Will be looking for some P1 or STI4/5 springs, dampers and rollbars in a couple of months I think.

 

Hope this helps....on AVOs, set up for handling, ie, NOT at their lowest setting !

 

nice alloys. Thanks for all the help.

 

Will have a set of PI lowering springs (-35mm) For sale reasonably soon!!! Only been used for 3 weeks!!!! New set of AVO Evolution coilovers on order.

Anyone interested, give me a shout.

Cheers.

Looking for about £70
